VOL.      VII 


NUMBER    9 


V  THE  ACT  OF  JUNE  30,  1890,  Con- 
gress provided  for  the  first  real  bat- 
tleship of  this  country.  It  is  said 
that  when  the  bill  had  been  signed, 
the  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  Benjamin 
F.  Tracy  sent  for  Lieutenant  Lewis 
Nixon,  then  in  the  Constructor's 
Bureau  and  said  to  him  informally: 
"Now  sir,  what  you've  to  do  is  to 
design  a  ship  that  can  lick  anything  afloat." 

And  Lieutenant  Nixon  designed  the  Oregon,  the  most 
powerful  ship  of  her  time.  Two  13-inch  guns  were  placed 
in  each  of  two  main  turrets  located  over  the  keel  fore 
and  aft.  One  turret  was  then  located  on  each  quarter  and 
two  8-inch  guns  mounted  therein.  Along  the  side  armrr 
walls  were  placed  four  6-inch  guns.  She  was  equipped 
with  twelve  3-inch  for  torpedo  defense. 

When  completed,  the  ship  that  looks  so  small  in  these 
days  of  dreadnaughts  and  super  dreadnaughts,  made  a 
very  imposing  sight,  and  was  reckoned  by  naval  authorities 
to  be  par-excellence  in  battleship  construction.  The  slii^ 
displaced  nearly  10300  tons  and  the  speed  attained  was 
15.547  knots.  Her  armor  varied  from  fifteen  to  eighteen 
inches  in  thickness. 

Now  we  have  much  speedier  ships  of  more  than  twice 


The  "Milwaukee"  is  the  New  Steel  Trail. 


her  tonnage  and  steaming  radius,  and  while  she  is  over- 
shadowed by  her  more  powerful  sisters  of  recent  date,  it 
is  well  to  remember  that  the  Oregon  showed  the  people 
and  Congress  that  battleships  could  be  built  cheaper  and 
better  in  this  country  than  in  Europe.  She  was  the  first 
of  a  series  of  ships  to  follow  that  have  made  the  American 
Navy  feared  and  respected  in  every  quarter  of  the  globe. 
So  we  can  look  on  the  Oregon  as  the  cornerstone  of  the 
modern  American  Navy. 

Designed  as  she  was  for  a  coast  defense  ship,  yet  she 
proved  that  in  an  emergency  she  was  capable  of  carry- 
ing the  war  into  the  enemy's  country. 

On  Tuesday,  July  the  7th,  1896,  the  builders,  The  Union 
Iron  Works  of  San  Francisco,  turned  her  over  to  the 
Government  of  the  United  States  and  she  was  accepted  at 
11:45  a.  m.,  by  Lieutenant  E.  M.  Hughes,  IT.  S.  N.,  on 
behalf  of  Rear  Admiral  Kirkland,  commandant  of  the 
Mare  Island  Navy  Yard.  One  week  and  one  day  later, 
almost  to  the  hour  on  Wednesday,  July  15,  she  went  into 
commission,  with  Captain  Henry  L.  Howison,  commanding; 
Lieutenant  Commander  F.  J.  Drake,  executive  officer,  and 
Lieutenant  E.  M.  Hughes,  navigator. 

When  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  John  D.  Long,  made 
his  report,  dated  November  15,  1897,  a  few  months  before 
the  war  with  Spain,  the  Oregon,  Massachusetts,  Indiana 
and  Iowa,  comprised  the  battleship  fleet  of  our  navy. 

On  March  the  19th,  1898,  she  started  on  her  memorable 
cruise  from  San  Francisco  to  Key  West,  with  Captain 
Clark  commanding.  Much  has  been  said  and  written 
about  that  cruise,  and  indeed  it  was  a  remarkable  per- 
formance for  a  "coast  defense"  vessel.  The  men  in  the 
"black  gang"  seem  to  have  suffered  most  on  this  journey, 
on  account  of  the  poor  ventilation  in  her  fire  rooms.  Men 
in  her  fire  rooms  today  say  they  have  never  experienced 
a  hotter  temperature  anywhere  than  when  steaming  along 
at  twelve  knots. 

Indeed  it  is  said  that  at  the  battle  of  Santiago,  when 
the  Colon  was  fleeing  from  the  Oregon  and  Brooklyn, 
with  the  slower  Texas  astern,  Chief  Engineer  Milligan 
went  into  the  suffocating  stokehold  to  personally  cheer 
and  enthuse  the  exhausted  men  who  were  gasping  for 
breath  but  keeping  steam  up  until  a  speed  of  perhaps 
eighteen  knots  was  attained.  And  this  on  a  vessel  that

only  made  15.547  knots  on  her  trial  trip!  Of  such  men 
is  the  American  Navy  composed.  Tt  was  then  that  the 
impatient  younger  officers  on  deck  asked  Captain  Clark 
to  let  them  try  a  shot"  and  the  Captain  consented.  The 
Chief  Engineer  came  on  deck  black  with  coal  dust  to 
thank  the  Captain  and  say  that  his  men  were  fainting 
below,  but  if  they  could  hear  a  shot  now  and  then  they 
could  live  through  and  keep  her  going! 

During  the  war  with  Spain  the  Oregon  demonstrated 
her  right  to  the  sobriquet  of  "Bull  Dog"  a  familiar  title,  by 
which  she  has  been  known  ever  since. 

"Bull  Dog  of  the  Navy,  hail! 
Again  we  greet  you  on  the  sea; 

Old  ship  that  weathered  rock  and  gale; 
Old  ship  that  sought  an  enemy. 

Aye,  sought  and  found,  and  on  the  quest 
Ten  thousand  miles  of  ocean  swept: 

And,  thundering  round  from  out  the  West, 
A  message  from  your  muzzles  leapt- 

A  message  we  had  counted  on, 

And  you  delivered,  Oregon.     —  OUR  NAVY. 

The  Oregon  demonstrated  her  sea-worthiness  on  the 
cruise  around  the  Horn,  but  if  any  further  proof  is  need-ed,, 
her  behavior  in  a  typhoon  in  1902  is  conclusive.  She  was1 
enroute  to  Yokohama  to  join  the  Asiatic  fleet  under  the 
command  of  Rear  Admiral  Evans.  The  typhoon  struck 
her  at  midnight.  One  enormous  sea  swept  over  the 
entire  ship,  crushing  in  the  starboard  pilot  house.  But 
good  seamanship  on  a  good  ship  brought  her  through  it 
with  no  further  damage.  She  escaped  with  a  sound  hull 
and  was  later  repaired  in  a  Japanese  ship  yard.

In  looking  through  the  rough  log  of  the  Oregon's  earlier 
history  one  is  impressed  with  the  severe  punishments 
meted  out  for  petty  offenses.  John  Doe,  on  April  16th, 
JS'f)7,  was  sentenced  to  five  days  B.  &  W.  for  late  ham- 
mocks. Richard  Roe  got  the  same  dose  for  smoking  out 
of  hours,  and  a  summary  court  martial  sentenced  another 
offender  to  "3  &  30"  for  shirking  duty.  Nearly  every  day 
there  was  a  mast  report  as  long  as  your  arm,  many  of 
them  petty  offences,  and  "B.  &  W."  seemed  to  be  the 
popular  punishment,  while  restriction  of  shore  liberty 
from  three  to  six  months  was  also  often  given  as  punish- 
ment. Thus  we  see  how  times  have  changed. 

The  West  coast  newspapers  are  devoting  lots  of  space 
to  the  recommissioning  of  the  Oregon  which  shows  that 
the  grand  old  ship  has  not  been  forgotten  by  the  American 
public.  An  effort  is  being  made  to  have  the  Oregon  the 
first  ship  to  pass  through  the  Panama  Canal  upon  its 
completion  in  1915  as  a  mark  of  honor.  President  Taft 
has  been  quoted  as  saying  he  would  do  every  thing  in  his 
power  to  further  this  plan.  The  Oregon  has  had  a  glor- 
ious and  useful  career  and  this  crowning  achievement,  if 
carried  out,  will  wind  up  a  history  that  any  ship  may  ho 
proud  of. 

That  our  shipmates  who  were  chosen  to  take  the  Ore- 
gon south  on  her  latest  cruise  were  proud  of  their  ship 
is  evidenced  by  the  rapidity  with  which  they  procured 
Oregon  cap  ribbons  to  replace  their  old  Pennsylvania 
ribbons. 


Xow   that   the  championship   series   is   over,   maybe    \vo 
can  find  a  little  real  war  news  from  China  in  the  papers.

Captain  Chas  F.  Pond,  commanding  the  Pacific  Re- 
serve Squadron,  comprising  at  present  the  battleship 
Oregon,  armored  cruiser  Pennsylvania,  protected  cruiser 
St.  Louis  and  the  torpedo  boats  Fox  and  Davis,  was  born 
in  Brooklyn,  Windham  county,  Connecticut,  on  October 
the  26th,  L8r>»;.  He  entered  the  Naval  Academy  as  a  cadet

s-  rved  on  the  U.  S.  S.  Hartford,  flagship,  and  the  V.  S.  S. 
Waclmsett,  Pacific  station. 

In  1885  he  was  promoted  to  Lieutenant  (,J.  C.)  and  was 
:isKirned  to  the  Naval  Observatory,  Mare  Island,  where  Ii2 
remained  until  1887,  serving  four  months  on  the  "Hassler" 
in  '86,  surveying  coast  of  California.  From  1887-90  served 
on  the  U.  S.  S.  Ranger,  surveying  the  coast  of  lower  Cali- 
fornia. From  1891-94  was  in  charge  of  the  Naval  Ob- 
servatory. .Mare  Island,  Cal.,  having  been  promoted  to 
Lieutenant.  From  '94  to  %97  was  attached  to  U.  S.  S. 
Alert,  Pacific  station,  as  navigator  and  senior  watch 
officer,  in  summer  of  1894  on  Bering  Sea  patrol. 

In  1897  he  was.  assigned  as  Assistant  Inspector  of  Ordi- 
nance, Navy  Yard,  New  York.  At  the  breaking  out  of  the 
war  with  Spain  he  put  the  Collier  Lebanon  into  commis- 
sirn  at  Boston,  and  from  April  to  October  served  as  Navi- 
gator on  the  U.  S.  S.  Panther  with  Rear  Admiral  Samr- 
scn's  fleet  on  north  coast  of  Cuba  in  search  of  Cevera's 
fleet.  After  that  fleet  was  located  at  Santiago,  Cuba, 

Seventy  hours  Seattle  to  Chicago  via  C.  M.  &  P.  S. 


transported  marines  to  Guantanamo  and  took  part  in  the 
three  days  fighting  there.  After  the  capitulation  of  Santi- 
ago, he  transported  troops  to  Montauk  Point. 

From  1898  to  1902  he  commanded  the  U.  S.  S.  Iroquois, 
station  ship  at  Honolulu,  Hawaiian  Islands.  In  1901  he 
made  a  survey  of  the  Midway  Islands  for  cable  station. 
While  temporarily  in  command  of  the  naval  station,  Hono- 
lulu, he  located  and  made  reservation  of  Naval  Station, 
Pearl  Harbor,  and  assisted  the  U.  S.  District  Attorney  in 
passing  condemnation  ^ffifigdjps  through  the  U.  S.  Dist- 
rict Court  and  the  U.  S.^Cour^of .Appeals,  San  Francisco, 
Cal.,  securing  for  $100,000  land^easehold  interests  valued 
at  over  $1,000,000.  In  1899  he  was  promoted  to  Lieutenant 
Commander. 

In  1902  he  went  to  the  Naval  Training  Station,  San 
Francisco,  Cal.,  remaining  until  1904.  In  1903  he  superin- 
tended for  the  Government  the  landing  of  the  Pacific  cable 
at  the  Midway  Islands.  In  1904-5  he  commanded  the  U.  S. 
S.  Supply,  station  ship  at  Guam.  In  1905  he  was  promoted 
to  Commander,  and  assigned  to  the  Navy  Yard,  Mare 
Island,  as  aid  to  the  Commandant  and  Inspector  of  Ord- 
nance in  charge  of  Naval  Magazine  at  that  station.  In 
the  winter  of  1905-6  he  commanded  the  U.  S.  S.  Lawton 
on  a  record  speed  trip  to  Cavite  and  return. 

In  1907  he  assumed  command  of  the  U.  S.  S.  Buffalo 
and  proceeded  north  on  the  Bering  Sea  patrol,  then  lo- 
cated and  reserved  naval  coaling  station  of  3150  acres  on 
Resurrection  Bay,  Alaska,  which  when  the  Matamiska  coal 
fields  are  opened  up,  will  undoubtedly  be  the  source  of 
fuel  supply  for  the  Navy  in  the  Pacific  Ocean. 

He  was  Light  House  Inspector  of  the  13th  district, 
Portland,  Ore.,  during  the  years  1908-9,  and  while  so 
serving  recommended  over  150  additional  aids  to  naviga- 
tion in  Alaskan  waters,  many  of  which  have  since  been 
established. 

In  1909  he  was  promoted  to  Captain  and  in  July  as- 
sumed command  of  the  U.  S.  S.  Pennsylvania,  which  po- 
sition he  has  held  to  date. 


The  Pennsylvania  entered  dry  dock  October  17.  We 
still  linger,  and  from  present  appearances  are  due  to  stay 
a  couple  of  weeks  yet.

When  one  of  our  new  sh'ps  went  into  commission  the  crew 
got  their  heads  together  and  decided  that  the  ship  must  have 
a  mascot.  Dogs,  cats,  goats  etc. ,  were  recommended,  but  still 
they  could  not  agree  which  one  to  choose.  Finally  it  decided 
to  consult  old  Billy  Thompson,  the  ships  quarter-master,  who 
could  tell  about  mascots  etc.,  as  far  back  as  '61. 

The  committee  on  mascots  marched  in  a  body  to'Billy's 
quarters  and  explained  the  situation  to  him. 

Leisurely  lighting  his  pipe,  Billy  said:  "Maties,  they  don t 
put  a  ship  like  this  wun  inter  commishun  every  day,  an'  a 
ship  widout  er  mascot  is  like  er  sailor  wid  er  pipe  an,  no  ter- 
baccer.

''Van"  is  the   Blue  Jacket's  friend. 


(CONTINUED  FROM    LAST    MONTH) 


At  just  five  minutes  to  eight  o'clock  John  entered  the 
railroad  offices  and  reported  to  the  head  clerk  in  charge. 
"Ah,  lets  see,  what  is  your  name?"  he  asked  John,  and  on 
being  informed,  made  a  rumbling  noise  in  his  throat  that 
reminded  John  of  his  former  skipper,  when  he  had  a  man 
before  him  at  the  mast.  In  fact  he  was  almost  prepared 
to  hear  "deck  court,"  but  instead  was  told  where  to  rr- 
port  to  work. 

John  found  his  fellow  workman  very  accommodating 
and  pleasant  fellows  to  get  along  with,  and  it  was  only  a 
matter  of  a  few  hours  until  he  had  mastered  the  details 
of  his  job  and  was  getting  along  fine.  He  found  that  his 
work  was  not  hard,  but  demanded  a  close  attention  to  dr- 
tail  and  mistakes  were  not  tolerated.  When  a  batch  of 
bills  left  his  hands  they  went  to  another  man  higher  up 
for  verification,  so  he  learned  to  be  very  careful. 

As  the  days  went  by  John  learned  many  things  about 
life  in  the  civil  world,  things  that  he  had  not  dreamed  of 
before.  For  instance  he  had  supposed  that  discipline  was 
an  unknown  factor  outside  the  military  service,  but  he 
was  beginning  to  see  that  discipline  existed  everywhere. 
Whenever  the  General  Freight  Agent  made  his  appear- 
ance in  the  office  there  was  quite  a  flurry  and  buzz  of 
excitement  and  turning  of  heads  to  get  a  sight  of  the 
great  man.  John  compared  him  to  an  Admiral  and  came 
to  the  conclusion  that  the  service  was  not  the  only  place 
where  an  exalted  position  rates  attention.  Even  the  head 
clerk  was  quite  an  important  personage  and  when  he  spoke 
to  any  one  that  person  moved  with  alacrity.  Everything 
went  to  show  that  in  any  walk  of  life  the  boss  man  was 
It,  whether  he  wore  gold  lace  in  a  military  service,  or 
Dungarees  on  a  contract  job. 

John  had  worked  in  his  new  position  about  two  weeks 
before  anything  hapepned  to  get  him  "in  bad."  The  alarm 
clock  which  he  had  purchased,  failed  to  awaken  him  one 
morning  and  when  he  did  wake  up  he  saw  to  his  horror 

Seventy  hours  Seattle  to  Chicago  via  C.  M.  &  P.  S. 


fell  1  1 


that  it  was  nearly  nine  o'clock.  Hastily  dressing  he  set 
out  for  the  office,  stopping  at  a  little  lunch  counter  barely 
long  enough  for  a  cup  of  coffee. 

"I  wonder  what  they  do  to  a  fellow  for  being  overtime," 
he  mused,  and  he  remembered  seeing  a  card  over  the 
chief  clerk's  desk  that  said  sqmething  about  promptness 
being  the  chief  virtue. 

Not  knowing  what  was  in  store  for  him  he  felt  a  little 
nervous  and  when  he  reached  the  office  and  went  in  to 
report  to  the  chief  clerk  he  was  conscious  of  an  uncom- 
fortuble  feeling  in  his  chest,  and  found  himself  continually 
throwing  back  his  shoulders  as  though  to  rid  himself  of 
this  feeling. 

"And  what  is  the  matter  with  you  this  morning,  Mr. 
Carter,  if  1  may  ask,"  his  chief  asked  him.  So  John  told 
him  a'.  out  the  defective  clock.  The  chief  listened  until 
he  had  finished,  then  delivered  himself  of  the  following: 

"Mr.  Carter,  this  company,  and  I  might  add,  no  other 
company,  will  long  tolerate  a  man  who  comes  late  to  his 
work,  in  the  first  place  it  denotes  unreliability,  something 
we  have  no  use  for  in  our  employees.  In  the  second  place, 
the  company  pays  you  for  full  eight  hours  of  your  time 
every  day,  and  when  you  come  late  they  are  paying  for 
something  they  do  not  get.  That  is  all;  don't  let  it 
happen  again." 

John  walked  away  feeling  slightly  relieved,  and  it  must 

be  confesesd,  a  little  hot  under  the  collar.     "Gee,"  said  he 

.to  himself,   "that    was   some  bawling  out  for  just  an  hour 

and   a   half   late."      But    that   evening   he    bought      a      new 

aalrm  clock. 

One  Sunday  John  took  a  car  out  to  a  park  on  a  hill 
overlooking  the  city.  One  of  his  fellow  workmen  had  told 
him  that  a  beautiful  view  of  the  city  could  be  obtained 
there.  He  found  that  the  attractions  of  the  place  had  not 
been  exaggerated  in  the  slightest.  The  city  lay  stretched 
at  his  feel,  almost  every  detail  showing  in  the  clear 
mountain  air.  To  the  south  of  the  city  lay  the  harbor, 
filled  with  shipping  and  —  what  was  that  long  "war-colored" 
ship  with  military  mast?  As  he  lived,  it  was  his  old  ship, 
at  anchor  in  the  bay.  When  did  she  arrive,  he  wondered. 
Sho  had  gone  north  again  shortly  after  he  had  been  dis- 
charged. Some  of  his  former  shipmates  might  be  in  the 
city  now.  He  would  go  back  to  town  and  look  them  up, 

A    "Milwaukee"  Ticket   Office    right    in    Bremerton. 


and  failing  to  find  them  he  would  go  aboard  in  the  after- 
noon. 

But  his  eyes  were  attracted  to  the  old  ship  again. 
Didn't  she  look  graceful  with  her  tall  funnels  in  perfect 
alignment,  the  sun  glinting  on  the  black  muzzles  of  her 
turret  guns?  Every  line  and  curve  and  angle  bespoke 
speed  and  power.  Her  sombre  coat  of  "war-color"  added 
a  touch  of  grimness  to  the  picture  that  was  slightly  re- 
lieved by  the  brightness  of  the  bit  of  bunting  on  her 
flagstaff  astern,  the  Colors.  John  unconsciously  removed 
his  cap  and  drew  a  deep  breath,  his  eyes  glistening  from 
some  emotion  it  would  have  been  hard  for  him  to  describe. 

A  wave  of  some  feeling,  something  like  homesickness 
swept  over  him.  Long  he  looked  and  steady.  He  could 
see  white  clad  figures  moving  about  on  her  decks  looking 
like  pygmies  in  the  distance. 

Suddenly  from  afar  came  the  silvery  tones  of  a  bugle. 
He  listened  intently,  marveling  meanwhile  that  he  had 
never  before  noticed  the  exquisite  beauty  of  the  bugle 
notes.  They  were  calling  away  the  second  steamer. 

He  watched  the  steamer  cast  loose  from  the  boom  and 
describing  a  perfect  arc,  approach  the  gangway.  He  turmd 
away,  conscious  of  a  peculiar  gnawing  feeling  in  his  breast. 
"Why,"  he  asked  himself,  "should  he  be  so  affected  by 
such  a  commonplace  scene,  a  scene  he  had  witnessed  hun- 
dreds of  times  at  colse  quarters?" 

The  answer  came  with  sickening  force.  He  was  lone- 
some. He  wanted  to  go  back.  He  wanted  to  be  back 
among  his  old  shipmates,  among  old  familiar  scenes.  The 
freedom  of  the  outside  was  losing  its  attraction.  Im- 
mediately he  began  conjuring  up  a  dozen  reasons  why  he 
should  not  go  back.  He  had  a  good  position,  and  while 
promotion  was  not  as  rapid  as  he  had  expected,  still  it 
would  come  some  day.  His  work  was  pleasant  and  hours 
comparatively  short  and  after  working  hours  he  was  his 
own  boss.  He  tried  to  recall  the  feeling  he  had  had  in 
the  South  Sea  Islands  that  time  when  for  48  hours  at  a 
stretch  he  had  shoveled  coal,  an  hour  on  and  an  hour  off — 
a  time  when  the  thermometer  had  registered  115  in  the 
hold  of  the  collier  and  the  dust  was  so  thick  it  could  al- 
most be  shoveled  out.  But  it  was  no  go.  This  picture, 
vivid  enough  at  the  time,  failed  to  cause  even  a  grimmace 
now. 

Deal    with    "Van"    and    get   a    square   deai.

All  he  could  see  was  that  calm  stately  ship  with  the 
beautiful  lines  riding  peacefully  at  her  anchor  there  in 
the  harbor. 

His  mind  was  made  up.  Tomorrow  he  would  quit  his 
job  and  go  back  in  the  service,  among  his  kind,  to  live 
his  kind  of  life. 

Did  he  live  to  regret  his  decision?  Ask  any  second 
cruise  man.  j  John  is  only  an  imaginary  person  and  can't 
tell  us.  But  the  moral:  "Go  Inland." 


CUT    IT    REGULATION    BY   GOLLY! 

We  have  some  girls  on  this  old  ship, 
Who  wouldn't  sign  up  for  a  barber  slip, 
But  some  one  put  the  First   Luff  hip; 
And,  .they  cut  it  regulation.     By  Golly! 
Both  far  and  near  the  word  was  passed 
"Get  that  hair  trimmed  or  you'll  be  classed 
When  gum  boot  takes  you  to  the  mast." 
And,  "Cut  it  regulation.     By  Golly." 
Montie  stood  by  his  red  plush  chair, 
Runnin'  his  fingers  through  auburn  hair, 
When  a  bull-like  voice  rang  thro'  the  air. 
"Cut  it  regulation.     By  Golly." 
He  smiled  a  smile  and  the  clippers  whirls. 
As  he  clipped  the  hair  of  the  sea  goin'  girls, 
And  they  looked  like  h — 1  without  their  curls. 
'Twas  cut  regulation,  By  Golly! 
As  they  all  lined  up  at  the  port  gangway, 
To  go  ashore  on  the  liberty  day, 
You  could  hear  each  one  say, 
'Twas  cut   regulation,   By   Golly!" 
But  my  short  "butt"  will  soon  roll  'round 
Then  no  more  will  they  clip,  my  crown. 
I'll  let  'er  go  till  she  grows  righ  down 
To  my  waist,  By  Golly!

When  the  staff  cartoonist  casually  remarked  the  other 
day  in  the  presence  of  the  office  devil  that  he  had  drawn 
a  series  of  pictures  for  one  of  our  large  service  publica- 
tions which  he  had  called  dreams,  the  devil  straightway 
had  an  inspiration  of  which  the  following  sample  is  the 
awful  result: 

DREAMS. 

Wunce  I  had  a  dream, 

A  layin'  on  a  chest, 

Twas  awful  hot  an'  I  wus  tired, 

An'  I  dreamed  my  very  best. 

I  didn't  dream  of  bein'  an  Admiral, 

Like  sailors  generally  does, 

Nor  did  I  dream  of  war  an'  glory 

Nor  liberty  an'  mess  gear  like  alwus 

Comes  to  sailors,  they  say.     No  sir, 

Not  I,  by  gum!     I  dreamed,  an'  gosh  'twas 

That  I  wus  a  seaman  on  Paw's  ranch! 

I  had  the  12  to  2  on  the  starboard  bridge, 

Down  in  the  pasture,  across  the  branch; 

An'  Paw,  he  had  the  Deck, 

An'  he  sure  wus  rarin'  'round 

'Caus  the  ace  of  spades  wus  missin' 

An'  the  frost  wus  hard  aground! 

The  "Milwaukee"  is  the  New  Steel  Trail. 


gJUiprtg  Irll 


An'    he    roars,    roars    he,    "Messenger!" 

I  jumped  like  I  wus  shot,  an'  none  too  soon 

"Messenger,  bring  the  rabbit   piece, 

"I'll  have  to  shoot  the  moon! 

"For   we're  in   uncharted   seas, 

"An1  our  reckonin's  dead,  I  guess. 

"An  I  hear  the  breakers  a  breakin' 

"Up  our  fall  pasture  by  gum!      An',  yes 

"I  hear  the  ringin'  of  the  bell 

Made    fast    to    old    "Black    Bess," 

A  warnin'  all  good  sailors  that  milkin'  time 

Is  here.  ^  An'  the  wind  is  roarin'  in  the  west 

Lot  through  the  maples. 

Hark!   at  that  dread  sound  the  helmsman 

Threw  the  wheel  clear  over  the  barn; 

The  skipper   ('twas  ma)  came  runnin' 

To  learn  what  wus  the  alarm. 

An'  Paw,  he  cries,  cries  he,  "We're  lost,  sir! 

Shiver  my  timbers,  by  gum,  there's  no  hope, 

Our   starboard   binnacle's   afoul    the   binder 

An'   our   yearlin'   colts   are   broke. 

An'  the  trackless  fields  are  one  wild  mass 

Of  weeds  an'  thistles  an'  snares, 

An'  the  wires  are  down  'round  the  oatfield  green, 

An'  the  field  is  full  of  tares. 

Oh!    save  the  ship,  the  captain  cried, 

Then  came  an  awful  sound  — 

A  rearm'  from  the  chicken-room  hatch 

Where  the  Plymouth  Rocks  abound. 

'Tis  the  incubator,  gone  by  the  board, 

And  the  wail  of  the  new-born  chicks 

Could  be  plainly  heard  above  the  rustling 

Hay    in    the    cattle    ricks; 

And   the   smell   of  '  flapjacks   burnin' 

Filled  the   frosty  air, 

And  all  around  wus  wreck  an'  carnage, 

An'  confusion  everywhere. 

An'  when  it  seemed  that  all  wus  lost, 

The  bridge,  the  fields,  an'  all  the  rest, 

I  woke  with  a  pain  in  my  starboard  side, 

From  sleepin'  on  a  chest!

To  "put  a  ship  in  commission"  does  not  mean  much  to 
the  average  lay  mind.  But  to  those  upon  whom  the  actual 
work  falls  the  task  becomes  one  of  gigantic  proportions, 
necessitating  long  hours  of  extra  labor  for  men  who  already 
have  their  hands  full. 

In  the  first  place  the  store  rooms  of  the  ship  are  to 
be  filled  with  provisions  sufficient  to  last  anywhere  from 
three  to  ten  months.  All  her  equipment  must  be  moved 
from  the  yard  storerooms  to  the  storerooms  aboard  ship. 
On  the  G.  S.  K.  force  falls  the  lot  of  taking  care  of  this 
gear,  enumerating  it,  putting  it  on  the  books  under  the 
proper  titles  and  accounting  for  every  little  screw  and 
nut.  Men  are  working  every  day  putting  stores  and  equip- 
ment aboard.  Then  the  ship's  empty  bunkers  must  be  filled 
with  coal.  When  she  is  coaled  and  equipped  and  pro- 
visioned and  ready  to  have  her  crew  assigned  then  the 
ship's  writer  and  Master-at-Arms  begin  to  take  off  their 
coats  and  go  to  work.  Every  man  who  comes  aboard  must 
have  a  certain  billet,  designated  by  a  number  which  as- 
signs him  his  division,  section  and  watch.  He  must  have 
a  certain  place  to  swing  and  stow  his  hammock,  a  cer- 
tain place  to  eat,  a  certain  cleaning  station,  etc.  The  ship's 
writer  puts  all  this  on  the  books  and  to  the  Chief  Master- 
at-Arms  falls  the  job  of  actually  billeting  and  messing  the 
ship.  As  near  as  possible  he  must  get  billets  for  a  division 
in  the  same  part  of  the  ship.  The  messes  must  also  be 
arranged  in  like  manner.  The  ship  has  been  equipped 
with  enough  tables  and  benches  to  accommodate  the  crew. 
The  messes  are  laid  out  from  No.  1  up,  odd  numbers  on

the  starboard  side,  even  numbers  on  the  port  side.  All 
the  mess  gear  used  by  each  man  must  be  drawn  from 
the  General  Store  Keeper  of  the  ship  and  signed  for  by 
the  Chief  Master-at-Arms.  Then  each  messman  draws  a 
lull  set  for  each  man  on  his  mess  and  signs  for  the  same. 
All  this  means  lots  of  book  work  for  the  G.  S.  K.  yeoman, 
for  every  little  article  drawn  has  to  be  entered  on  the 
books  and  accounted  for. 

While  all  this  is  going  on  the  heads  of  the  various 
departments  are  having  the  time  of  their  lives  assigning 
their  men  to  the  various  stations  in  their  departments.  In 
the  Engineers  department  watch  bills  must  be  made  out, 
men  assigned  to  the  various  auxiliary  machinery,  such  as 
ice  machine,  steering  engine  room,  dynamo  room,  and 
mess  cooks  and  compartment  cleaners  must  be  detailed. 
Every  man  must  be  assigned  his  cleaning  station  as  in 
the  deck  force. 

In  the  Ordnance  department  gunner's  mates  and  their 
strikers  must  be  detailed  for  every  gun,  magazines  must 
be  inspected  and  powder  tested  and  in  fact  every  depart- 
ment on  the  ship  is  very  busy. 

Of  course  some  confusion  is  bound  to  exist  for  a  few 
days,  but  thanks  to  discipline  and  system,  things  are 
working  smoothly  before  many  days. 


Chief  Yeoman  Baylor  and  Ship's  Cook  Bugman  are 
demonstrating  what  can  be  done  in  the  way  of  feeding  a 
ship's  company  the  "way  mother  used  to."  A  little  heat 
goes  a  long  ways  towards  making  grub  palatable.  Keep 
up  the  good  work,  fellows.  And  if  you  could  only  devise 
some  way  to  heat  up  those  cold  stone  dishes  it  would 
help  some  more,  wouldn't  it? 


Many  may  be  surprised  that  we  should  publish  this 
month,  and  indeed  we  are  a  little  surprised  ourselves,  to 
see  the  book  actually  in  print.  It  has  been  a  hard  month 
for  ye  editor.  What  four  men  did  formerly,  we  have 
done  all  by  our  lonesome  this  month,  and  if  we  can't  be 
proud  of  the  result,  we  are  at  least  proud  of  the  effort.

NAVY    YARD    NOTES. 

The  monitor  Cheyenne  and  na\y  yard  lug  Pawl  ticket 
were  placed  in  drydock  October  11,  for  periodic  docking 
and  repairs. 

The  protected  cruiser  St.  Louis,  has  been  ordered  to 
take  the  place  of  the  old  wooden  ship  Pensacola  as  re- 
ceiving ship  at  the  Naval  Training  Station  at  Yerba 
Beima,  Cal.,  in  San  Francisco  bay.  Word  was  received 
from  the  navy  department  to  get  the  St.  Louis  in  readiness 
for  the  cruise  to  San  Francisco  as  soon  as  practicable. 

The  St.  Louis  was  several  months  ago  under  orders 
to  succeed  the  old  wooden  receiving  ship  Independence  at 
the  Mare  Island  yards,  but  on  assignment  of  the  St.  Louis 
to  the  Pacific  reserve  fleet,  the  St.  Louis'  former  orders 
were  annulled. 

The  assignment  of  the  ST.    Louis  to  the   San  Francisco 
training  station  is  following  out  the  policy  announced  by 
the  navy  department  of  abolishing  the  use  of  wooden 
scis  as  receiving  ships. 

Assistant  Paymaster  W.  R.  Van  Buren  has  been  trans- 
ferred from  the  Mare  Island  Navy  Yard  to  duty  as  assist- 
ant to  the  general  storekeeper  of  this  yard. 

Commander  Kuenzli,  U.  S.  N.,  reported  for  duty  Satur- 
day, as  inspection  officer  of  the  navy  yard. 

Bremerton's  business  section  will  be  afforded  the  pro- 
tection of  the  salt  water  mains  of  the  navy  yard  in  fighting 
fire,  if  the  recommendations  of  Rear  Admiral  V.  L.  Cott- 
man,  U.  S.  N.,  commandant  of  the  navy  yard,  are  approved 
by  the  navy  department.  This  will  give  Bremerton  a  fire 
protection  system  not  surpassed  by  any  other  city  of  the 
Northwest,  with  volume  and  pressure  sufficient  to  suc-

Word  from  the  Mare  Island  navy  yard  has  it  that 
the  cruiser  Albany,  now  in  Asiatic  waters,  will  go  to  Mare 
Island  early  next  year,  for  a  complete  overhauling.  The 
Albany  has  heretofore  made  her  home  port  at  the  Bremer- 
ton yard. 

On  Monday,  October  30,  the  working  hours  of  the  navy 
yard  were  changed  to  conform  with  the  short  winter  days. 
The  workmen  are  allowed  only  a  half  hour  at  noon,  and 
the  yard  shuts  down  at  4:30  every  evening,  instead  of 
5  o'clock.  This  schedule  will  remain  in  effect  until  about 
the  middle  of  February. 


NEWS  FROM   THE   PHILADELPHIA. 

Sixty  men  were  enlisted  between  Oct.  1st  and  27th. 

The  football  team  of  the  Philadelphia  defeated  the  U. 
S.  S.  Pennsylvania  with  a  score  of  20  to  0,  and  the  Muck- 
lucks  of  Seattle,  with  a  score  of  131  to  0. 

Thirty  G.  C.  M.  prisoners  are  expected  from  the  Navy 
Yard,  Mare  Island,  Cal.,  via  the  U.  S.  S.  Oregon,  for  con- 
finement on  the  Nipsic. 

Paymaster  R.  B.  Lupton  reported  aboard  for  duty  as 
the  relief  of  Paymaster  T.  J.  Bright,  U.  S.  N.,  ordered  to 
the  Asiatic  station. 

Mate  W.  O.  Lamb  will,  upon  re-enlistment  Nov.  10,  1911, 
be  transferred  to  the  U.  S.  S.  Pensacola  for  duty. 

Paymaster  John  M.  Hancock,  U.  S.  N.,  is  coaching  the 
Philadelphia  football  team  and  is  also  acting  in  the  ca- 
pacity of  captain. 

The  Phila's  football  team  will  play  the  following  games 
during  November: 

Nov.     4 — University  of  Puget  Sound,  at  Tacoma. 

Nov.  11 — Multnomah  Club,  at  Portland. 

Nov.  14 — Vancouver  Barracks,  at  Vancouver,  Wash. 

Nov.  19 — Rainier  Valley  Athletic  Club,  at  Seattle. 

C.  F.  Marqiiardt,  Yeo.  Id.  formerly  of  the  Pennsylvania, 
has  been  confined  to  the  sick  bay,  suffering  with  blood

The  Philadelphia  prides  itself  in  having  in  Neil  Roy, 
one  of  the  best  and  most  conscientious  commissary  stew- 
ards in  the  service.  Roy  came  to  the  Philadelphia  from 
the  Pennsylvania.

The  Philly  team  tasted  defeat  at  the  hand  of  the  We- 
natchee  team,  one  of  the  fastest  teams  in  the  Northwest, 
at  Wenatchee— 26-0.  This  is  the  only  beating  that  the 
Philly  team  has  received  to  date  and  let's  hope  that  iis 
her  last.  But  a  few  days  later  she  took  revenge  on  the 
light,  but  game,  Mucklucks  of  Seattle,  running  up  and 
down  the  field  until  she  had  a  total  of  131  points.  The 
Philly  team  outweighed  the  Hardlucks  20  pounds,  but  the 
Haplucks  were  game  although  they  could  do  nothing 
against  the  strong  team  they  were  playing  at  the  time 
mentioned.  The  Philly  used  the  forward  pass  and  got  away 
with  it  nine  out  of  every  ten  attempts.  But  as  the  game 
was  never  in  doubt,  a  little  kicking  for  field  goals  would 
have  been  to  the  liking  of  all  hands  also  for  the  better- 
ment of  the  team,  but  they  failed  to  try  for  any  field 
goals,  so  the  game  ended  with  the  Philly  headed  for 
another  touchdown. 

The  Bremerton  crack  baseball  team  lost  to  the  Seattle 
professionals  2-0.  Although  Gordon  pitched  a  good  game 
his  team  mates  failed  to  hit  the  Seatle  twirlers  to  ad- 
vantage, therefore  the  Bremerton  squad  was  whitewashed. 

For  the  second  consecutive  year  the  Philadelphia  Ath- 
letics won  the  highest  honors  in  baseball,  beating  the  "in- 
vincibles"  known  in  all  departments  of  the  game.  It  was 
undoubtedly  the  greatest  world's  series  ever  staged,  as 
the  first  five  games  played  were  anybodys  game,  neither 
side  scoring  over  4  runs.  But  the  great  Mathewson  arid 
the  famous  ,Rube  Marquard  proved  to  be  easy  marks  for 
the  hard  hitting  Athletics,  although  they  did  not  hit  either 
very  hard.  The  Giants  failed  to  show  that  speed  for 
which  they  were  noted,  and  the  Athletics  romped  away 
with  the  final  game  at  Philadelphia,  13-2.  They  made  as 
many  runs  in  the  last  game  as  the  Muggsyites  accumu- 
lated in  six  games.  The  teams  were  evenly  matched  be- 
fore the  series,  to  most  of  the  scribes,  but  now  the  tale 
has  been  transferred.  Well,  let  New  York  take  care  of

sues,  the  best  team  won  the  title  of  "The  World's  Cham]  -

On  Saturday,  October  4th,  our  football  team  journeyed 

"ib  Fort'  Warden,  only  to  "be  defeated  by  the  soldier  team 
of  that  place,  59-0.  It  was  our  first  game  of  the  season 
and  Captain  Sloane's  bunch  of  pig  skin  artists  did  well 
to  hold  the  strong  fort  team  to  59  points.  The  result  'of 
the  game  lies  in  the  fact  that  the  soldiers  used  the  on-side 
kick  and  the  forward  pass  quite  frequently  and  managed 
to  get  away  with  it  nearly  every  time.  But  — 

Later  in  the  month  we  gave  the  Phillies  the  game  ci 
their  career,  although  we  lost  20-0.  The  game  was  en- 
livened with  many  sensational  plays  on  both  sides.  Be- 
fore the  game  all  hands  were  figuring  how  many  hundred 
points  the  Philly  aggregation  would  roll  up  against  us, 
but  immediately  after  the  game  got  under  way  the  tune 
swayed.  The  game  opened  with  Philly  receiving  the  ball 
and  after  many  failures  at  the  forward  pass  she  rt- 

;  turned  the  ball  to  us.     We  managed  to  get  through  with  a 

'couple  of  passes  for  gains  but  lost  the  ball  to  the  Philly 
i  earn  on  a  fumble.  After  the  Philly  team  saw  that  it 

:was    useless   to   try   and   hold   us   from    going   through   her 

;line  and  breaking  up  her  play  in  the  backfield  before  the 
quarter  could  pass  the  ball,  the  strange  parr  of  it  was  that. 
she  still  used  the  same  line  of  defense.  After  ten  minutes 
01  play  the  first  period  ended  with  the  score  standing  2-0 
in  favor  of  the  Philly  bunch,  as  she  scored  a  safety.  In 

;the  second  period  we  managed  to  hold  our  c\vn  and  then 
some  —  for  Captain  Sloane  was  playing  the  game  of  his 
life,  breaking  up  her  team  work  and  getting  their  goats 
(in  the  side.  He  had  the  Phillies  all  going  sideways. 
Although  we  were  unable  to  cross  the  Phillie's  line  we  de- 
fended ours  to  perfection  and  the  second  period  ended 

.with  the  score  reading  2-0.  The  features  of  the  first  half 
was  the  all-around  playing  of  our  peerless  leader,  Captain 
Sloane,  and  the  snappy  play  of  Storman,  our  lightning 
end.  During  the  intermission  the  Philly  team  was  some- 
what worried  as  they  had  failed  to  cross  our  line  for  a 
touchdown  in  the  first  half  of  the  game.  Our  team  \v,,. 
considerably  fagged  for  they  had  to  exert  themselves  to 
the  limit  to  hold  the  opposing  team  safe.  The  third  quar- 
ter opened  with  a  rush  and  after  a  few  minutes  of  play  ii

was  seen  that  the  strain  was  telling  on  us  and  the  Phillies 
planted  the  ball  safely  between  our  goal  for  the  first  touch- 
down of  the  game  —  the  goal  was  kicked  and  the  score 
:  -tood,  at  the  end  of  the  third  period,  8-0.  All  Philly.  The 
last  period  saw  our  last  stand;  we  were  fighting  to  hold 
the  score  down  —  Quarterback  Sloane  was  doing  great  work 
jind  had  the  rest  of  the  team  doing  the  same  —  but  the 
Philly  backfield  began  to  let  itself  be  known  and  before 
many  minutes  of  play  she  had  crossed  our  line  for  the 
second  touchdown  of  the  game.  On  the  try  for  the  goal 
ihe  ball  sailed  clean  on  one  of  the  prettiest  kicks  ever 
seen  on  the  local  grounds.  This  made  the  score  look  like 
14-0.  We  had  the  goose  egg,  or  whatever  you  want  to 
call  it.  The  Philadelphia  backfield  was  the  whole  team 
in  this  same,  for  her  line  was  weak  —  time  and  again  our 
ends  broke  up  their  plays  in  the  backfield  before  the 
quarter  could  pass  the  ball.  The  backs  were  wondering 
how  they  were  being  copped  in  the  act  eight  out  of  ten 
times.  But  —  that  but  again  —  their  backs  were  our  down- 
fall as  they  managed  to  score  again  after  several  attempts 
at  the  forward  pass,  a  few  of  which  succeeded,  and  to 
make  things  look  right  (for  the  Phillie  crowd)  the  ball 
went  over  our  goal  on  the  kick  and  the  score  was  advanced 
six  points,  making  a  total  of  twenty.  That  was  the  last 
score  of  the  game  and  at  20-0  the  final  happenings  read. 
The  features  of  the  second  half  were  the  playing  of  Sloane, 
then  more  Sloane,  and  the  great  offensive  work  of  the 
Phillie's  backs,  as  it  was  the  Philly  backs  that  beat  us  in 
that  memorable  game. 

On  October  loth  we  again  put.  on  our  traveling  togs 
and  when  the  baggage  was  unloaded  and  we  looked 
around  for  the  town  we  found,  after  much  searching  for 
an  inhabitant,  that  we  were  in  the  noble  town  or  city  of 
Ren  ton.  Did  you  get  that?  Renton!  Well,  how  they  got 
a  team  out  that  place  is  hard  to  say,  but  they  had  one 
just  the  same.  After  some  rough  playing  (we  were  sup- 
posed to  get  beat,  so  the  Renton  bugs  thought)  in  which 
we  were  penalized  for  being  on  sides,  off  sides,  gaining  or 
almost  anything,  we  finally  managed  to  put  the  ball  over 
the  line  for  a  touchdown.  Like  the  town,  we  will  make  the 
score  small;  for  after  the  battle  it  was  found  that  Sloane 
and  his  Pennsy  tribe  had  triumphed  to  the  tune  of  5-0, 
as  we  had  failed  to  kick  the  goal  on  the  try.  Good  Bye,

AWSON  Says  that  he  doesn't  object  to 
having  the  other  steam  boat  men  of 
the  fleet  call  him  a  "Bull  Dog" 
sailor.  But  the  title  of  "Pup"  as 
applied  to  his  steamer  does  rather 
get  his  nanny. 

It  didn't  take  our  fellows  long  to  get  those  Oregon  cap 
ribbons  sewed  on,  did  it? 

Miller  says  this  life  is  awful.  On  the  Pennsy  they 
wouldn't  let  him  enjoy  his  meals  on  mess  29,  with  their 
yarn  on  what  happened  in  the  galley,  and  now — well  the 
Oregon  is  not.  the  easiest  of  sea  boats. 

Jimmie  Kinkaid   says  he'll  land  that  soft  snap  yet. 

It  is  rumored  that  this  ship  is  to  take  a  draft  of  G.  C.  M. 
prisoners  to  the  Nipsic.  Many  of  our  men  are  wondering 
where  we  are  going  to  put  them. 

Oh  you  bag  inspection!

All  day  long  and  far  into  the  night  the  sound  of  ham- 
mer and  saw  rang.  At  last  it  was  finished.  The  ordinary 
seaman  who  was  piloting  visitors  about  the  ship  in  Frisco 
stopped  in  front  of  the  structure  and  pointed  to  it  with 
pride.  r'Oh,  what  is  it?"  cried  they  in  chorus  as  they 
viewed  its  padded  interior,  "a  cold  storage  plant?" 

"Nay,"  answered  the  youthful  tar,  "that's  where  we 
keep  the  married  men  since  we  left  Bremerton." 

Guess  some  of  our  deck  force  will  be  sure  enough  sea- 
men when  we  hit  Bremerton  again. 

Well,  anyhow  fellows,  we  have  it  on  the  rest  of  the 
fleet.  We  are  the  only  battleship  sailors  on  the  station.

"All  is  quiet  along  the  Potomac."  The  saying  holds 
true  at  the  Association  building.  The  men  of  the  Pennsyl- 
ania  who  were  transferred  to  the  Oregon  are  greatly  missed. 

Word  which  came  from  other  branches  of  the  Navy 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  during  the  past  month  indicates  the  growing  in- 
terest of  the  service  in  Association  activities. 

Brooklyn  and  Norfolk  are  pushing  their  Fall  educational 
work  and  many  men  are  taking  advantage  of  the  courses  of 
study  offered.  Vallejo  and  San  Francisco  report  active 
times  while  the  fleet  was  in. 

The  illustrated  lecture  on  the  Panama  Canal  by  Edwin  R. 
Gobrecht  of  Boone,  Iowa,  on  October  14th  was  very  interest- 
ng  and  instructive. 

As  a  result  of  the  recent  membership  campaign  82  men  from 
the  U.  S.  P.  Pennsylvania  joined  the  Association.  Thanks 
are  due  to  all  who  had  a  part  in  boosting  the  interest  of  the 
Association.  Membership  is  a  growth.  Let  present  members 
keep  the  question  alive  and  growth  will  come. 

Announcement  is  made  at  this  time  of  the  Union  Revival 
services  to  be  conductd  by  Rev.  and  Mrs  Wm.  Parks  at  the 
Coliseum  Rink  commen'ing  November  8th, 


Cold  weather  is  almost  upon  us  and  still  we  tarry  in 
the  Navy  Yard.  What,  with  putting  other  ships  in  com- 
mission, filling  their  holds  with  stores  arid  their  bunkers 
with  coal,  and  the  large  amount  of  work  to  be  done  on 
our  own  old  Pennsy,  all  hands  are  kept  exceedingly  busy 
and  it  is  a  safe  bet  that  no  one  will  be  sorry  to  leave. 


In  Norfolk,  the  ship's  papers  are  considerably  agir-\ted 
over  the  refusal  of  the  Retail  Merchants  Association  to 
endorse  them  as  advertising  mediums.  It  would  almost 
seem  as  though  the  Norfolk  merchants  didn't  want  the 
Bluejackets'  patronage.  If,  however,  the  men  were  denied 
liberty  in  Norfolk,  this  same  association  would  imdoubtr 
edly  lost  no  time  in  finding  out  why,  and  doing  their  ut- 
most to  relieve  the  situation. 


Yes,  we'll  all  be  glad  when  we  get  where  a  bunch  of 
Navy  Yard  workmen  can  not  come  in  and  rub  the  greese 
off  their  dungarees  on  our  paint-work  and  spit  tobacco 
juice  all  over  our  deck. 

Deal    with   "Van"   and    get   a   square   deal. 


We  are  very  sorry  to  state  that  our  friend  Knight  has 
contracted  a  severe  cold,  due  to  losing  his  curly  locks. 
Now  it  would  be  very  generous  if  his  shipmates  would 
contribute  a  few  pesos  and  buy  him  a  wig.  We  believe  it 
woudl  be  highly  appreciated  by  the  afflicted.

the  Mazuma  to  go  to  Seattle  every  Saturday.  Better  get 
a  book.  Blondie. 

Speaking  about  averaged  sized  men — throw  Snookuma 
Ryan  and  Fat  Austin  in  a  sausage  machine  and  divide 
by  two. 

On  rhe  square,  don't  you  miss  the  chorus  girls? 

Do  you  like  your  job  honey?    Oh,  you  St.  Louie  working 

party ! 

Who  was  it  who  slept  in  a  rain  barrel  in  the  rear  of 
i  be  Rainier  Grand?  Oh  you  G.  S.  K.  mystery! 

"Cussiii'  the  other  feller  is  like  puttin'  paint  on  the 
bottom  of  the  overhead — you'll  always  get  mussed  your- 
self."—Salty. 

The  man  who  used  to  cuss  the  canteen  yeoman  is 
beginning  to  think  he  wasn't  such  a  bad  plug  after  all 
"Gimme  the  butt.  ' 

We  sure  miss  that  red  knob  of  Brady's. 

We'll  all  testify  to  the  fact  that  there  is  some  class  to 
"Bugs"  as  a  cook.  "Bugs"  says  "dogs  is  dogs,  but  hot 
dogs  is  grub."  Hot  dogs  is  right. 

The   "Columbian"   leaves    Seattle   7:15   p.    m.   every   day —

Now  which  would  you  rather  do,  take  a  bath  in  icy 
water  and  kill  an  hour  changing  clothes,  or  stay  on  the 
job  in  dry  clothes  without  the  bath?  Ask  the  lad  who 
fell  (?)  off  the  propeller  one  cold  October  morning  when 
the  Pennsy  came  in  dry  dock. 

Those  socialistic  fanatics  will  raise  the  red  flag  in 
the  print  shop  yet,  if  they  don't  let  up  on  that  line  of  talk- 
to  the  printer. 

On  the  square  fellows,  wouldn't  some  of  those  awful 
yarns  of  Sef  ton's  come  in  handy  these  cold  mornings  — 
before  they  turn  the  steam  on? 

Webster  says  a  short-timer  is  a  man  who  has  less  than 
six  months  to  serve  in  the  navy.  Seems  like  a  lot  of 
these  1912  men  are  doing  a  lot  of  unauthorized  hollering 
now  days. 

Look  out  there,  Pin  Head,  that  terrible  head  hunter 
from  South  Africa  will  catch  you  one  of  these  days. 

Stinson  says  the  ignorance  of  some  of  these  sailors  is 
appaling.  The  other  day  he  got  a  chit  for  a  plug  of 
ship's,  an  accordion  and  a  box  of  dog  biscuit. 

Butter,  butter,  who's  got  the  butter?  Ask  any  man 
on  mess  six. 

Ordinary  seamen  showing  visitors  about  the  ship.  "Now 
you  would  think  from  these  fellow's  antics  that  they  had 
just  been  transferred  from  the  funny  house,  but  such  is 
not  the  case.  That  wild  eyed  maniacal  looking  fellow  you 
see  there  at  the  telephone  is  George  Heller.  He  is  getting 
the  returns  from  the  World's  championship  games." 

When  the  Pennsy  leaves  the  yard,  Bremerton  society 
may  recover,  but  it  will  never  look  the  same. 

In  the  old  Navy  they  used  to  unchain  the  dogs  of  war; 
now  they  uncan  them.  —  Jayhawker. 

Fast  women  and  slow  horses  have  put  many  a  man 
to  the  bad.  How  about  it,  Wiggles?

COMEDY. 

And  now  we  will  be  entertained,  gentlemen  and  sailors, 
by  that  engaging  pair  of  commedians,  Mr.  Giles  and  Mr. 
Woods: 

Giles — Give  me  a  two-cent  stamp. 

Woods — Cancelled  or  uncancelled? 

Giles — Either  kind.     Shall  I  put  it  on  myself? 

Woods — No,  you  hay  shaker,  put  it  on  the  letter. 
(There's  where  you  laugh.) 

Giles — What  made  you  put  your  girl's  picture  in  your 
watch? 

Woods — Because  I  think  she  will  love  me  in  time. 
(Giles  promptly  faints).  While  Giles  is  coming  out  of  the 
dope,  Woods  springs  this  one  on  an  innocent  and  unsus- 
pecting audience: 

"We  are  very  glod  to  remain  in  Bremerton  for  the 
climate  is  considered  very  healthy  in  the  winter  time. 
Only  one  man  died  here  in  the  last  ten  years  and  he  was 
a  doctor.  He  died  of  starvation. 

Giles    (who  has  recovered) — What  time  is  it? 

Woods — My  watch  is  out  of  order. 

Giles— What's   the  matter  with   it? 

Woods — I   got  bed  bugs   in   it. 

Giles — How  did  they  get  in  there? 

Woods — They  crawled  in  between  the  ticks,  you  mutt! 
Giles  does  a  flip  flop  and  then  goes  through  the  audience 
selling  their  latest  book  entitled,  "The  Mystery  of  Speedy 
Rictor,  or  Who  Threw  the  Deck  Swab  in  His  Morning 
Coffee."  (Exit  the  villains.)
